QuickTime can play the Free audio and video formats Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora, if the (also Free) Xiph.org QuickTime Components are installed from:
http://xiph.org/quicktime/
Suggest that the Quicktime filter be enhanced to recognize the extensions ogv, .oga, and .ogg in addition to .mov.
Someone just asked about this in the forum.

Minor
The Moodle multimedia plugin does not support Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora files, although these can be played in QuickTime
1. get the applet from 
it's very preliminary but it works
1. get the applet from http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/
2. put the bin jar applet in : /moodle/filter/mediaplugin
3. overwrite (after you backup !!! ) the attched files in the same folder
( for vanilla moodle 1.9.0 just use the attached files )
/moodle/filter/mediaplugin/defaultsettings.php
/moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filterconfig.html
/moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filter.php
/moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filtersettings.php
now, multimedia filter configuration just got a new ogg file format filter enabled
and any ogg file you upload/link will be played with the java applet.
their are some more applets out there and of course this applet needs more tweaking too
but, it a start.
i was looking for a flash ogg player (apr-08) but found none useful (btw. see devel version : http://flash.j-ogg.de/
it is more cpu intensive then the java applet). and as far as i can understand... implementing vorbis
decoder in action-script is difficult and the Adobe people rather have h264 implemented natively
in the player then having ogg... bomber !
